Iron is an essential nutrient for plants involved in the synthesis of chlorophyll3. In alkaline soils with high calcium carbonate content, iron has an especially reduced movement and is under insoluble forms4. Under these conditions, the plants manifest a lack of iron in the form of iron chlorosis5.
The best way to correct this deficiency is by providing the iron chelate AGRASTREEN MAX, as the chelating agent has proven to be the most stable and effective in the most difficult and different conditions6. The chelated iron AGRASTREEN MAX is a micro granulate with a high solubility in water ($125 \text{ g/l}$), which does not form precipitates or lumps7. It is stable in a pH range of 4–12, obtaining the maximum stability between 5 and 9.5, which is the range in which most agricultural soils are located.
